Sounds are arranged into 10 ready-to-play kits. As great as they are, sounds are just the beginning. Inside the DM Lite module you'll also find valuable extras. The built-in coach feature, 30 play-along music tracks, and an onboard click-track (metronome) add purpose to practice sessions and improve basic and advanced skills. The DM Lite module also provides an 1/8" stereo aux input, so you can listen, learn, and play along with lessons or jam to your favorite tracks stored in your computer, mobile device, or audio player. For making music with a computer, the DM Lite module benefits from a USB MIDI connection to allow use with popular audio recording software and virtual instruments. A headphone jack for private practice, plus 1/4" stereo outputs connect easily to a PA system, amplifier, or recording interface.

LED Illuminated Pads

The DM Lite Kit includes four drum pads one snare and three toms. Three cymbal pads are also provided hi-hat, crash, and ride. When each pad or cymbal is hit, an internal blue LED lights up, adding a mini light show to any performance. Plus, the pads will also flash in response to the onboard patterns and drum lessons, providing visual reinforcement to every practice session.

Control on the Floor

Two foot pedals are included with the DM Lite Kit kit. The first is a hi-hat open/closed momentary control pedal. Second is a velocity-sensitive piezo-controlled kick trigger pedal. Unlike simple on/off kick pedals, this dynamic pedal translates the player's force into volume, for a realistic kick-drum performance.

"Good Start"

Overall:
This kit has 10 different drum kit sounds, and the sound quality is really quite good! As a drummer who has always used acoustic drums, the inability to position the heads exactly where you want them is a little annoying, especially the snare. Other than that, even the pedals are decent. Another negative is that the bass drum volume is a little to high, and cannot be adjusted. Overall though, the set is a blast to play, and is a great start for beginners and kids.

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

"you get alot for your money, but is it good enough?"

Overall:
PROS: for the price of one good guitar pedal, you get a functional drum kit that sounds amazingly good via PA and in phones, the first two sets are the only ones that sound like real drums, has all the outputs and inputs you need, small size, good training and coaching tracks to learn how to drum, lights up in dark and looks cool to kids
CONS: bass drum is way too loud in the mix and it can not be turned down individually, can not do rim shots since the rim is actually a plastic light, snare is way way off to the side and it cannot be placed in between your knees (frame will not allow that positioning), made of light plastic and seems like a kids toy for a video game, not sure if it will last beyond 6 months
OVERALL: good for really really young kids, like kindergarten and first and second graders maximum, otherwise spend a few more hundred bucks and move up the line. That is what I ended up doing thanks to good customer care a zzounds.
